[QUOTE="jlmustain, post: 3111705, member: 12917"] fasteddie, thanks, buddy! Since this is my first year deer hunting, I've spent a truckload on gear. I've been a fisherman and small game hunter almost all my life, but I've never gone after deer, and I've never used a bow. I don't know if it's realistic or not (because I don't know how long it takes to get good with a bow), but I'd love to be able to bow hunt for turkey in March. And if it's reasonable to think I could have enough knowledge/skill in the next week or a little longer, I have an AL deer license, and I'd like to close the season out with a bow down there. All that to say, I don't think it would sit well with my wife if I spent more money on deer gear, and if 60 lb isn't light enough, I may have to sell it to have the money to make a switch. Of course, not knowing what drawing 60 lb feels like, I'd love to keep it if I can draw smoothly enough for deer hunting stealth. My gut feeling is that I won't be confident enough in a week or two to take it deer hunting, but surely by March, with enough practice, I should be able to offer a carbon injection to a gobbler!
